The mixed media installation "Steak Night: Marinate, Tenderize and Grill," includes a performance video of the Artist wearing'Jerry's, Butcher's coat,' while tenderizing beefsteaks precisely cut to match the border outline shapes of specific middle eastern countries:​i.e. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria etc. that were later placed on a "gridiron" over hot charcoal to cook. The video shows the Middle Eastern country steaks in various stages of being grilled, (ie. raw, rare, medium, well, on fire, burnt to a crisp and ultimately branded with a USA branding iron.) Individual still photographs from the performance video of each of the grilled country steaks were framed and displayed.

As the definition of a "gridiron" is: "something marked off by squares or a grated iron utensil used for broiling flesh or fish over coals," and football fields are sometimes referred to as "gridirons," the implied metaphors within a U.S. foreign policy context are telling. On opening night Jadick offered the public, grilled, Iraq-shaped, steak burgers to eat, along with fixins' and sides, within the context of a convivial football tailgate party. She engaged in conversation with Gallery visitors (i.e. How do you like your Iraq burger, rare or well?) eliciting spontaneous commentary.
